Hi, been many many years since we did a transfer but our family came to visit and think it usually takes between one and a half and two hours depending on where you are staying. Polichrono is probably about 1 1/2 hrs depending where they drop off first.

The roads used to be windy and through small villages 30 years ago. Now it is mainly dual carriageway until you get near the peninsula. Not hilly, but the drivers are very fast and some parts of the dual carriageway have no middle guard rail, so close your eyes !

You can always get a taxi, you would have to ask someone latest prices. No difference in the route, but I am always more sickly on a bus than in a car.

Enjoy your hols.

pinkjane hi

you can cash travellers chegues at polichrono but you will have to find the new place as i think the old one moved not been to poli for 4 yrs now
if not a very short taxi ride to Hanioti and you can get them done there and get cash out ATM

about 60 euros by taxi to poli but ask taxi driver first for price.

bus journey isnt bad now and lets you see more of halkidiki on your way to poli.and its flat till after nea potadia then its mostly down hill


sorry i cant be any more help

but enjoy your break halkidiki is great.

There's a couple of exchange places on the road by the town square. There is one place virtually opposite the Hotel Posidonio and another further down the road or as Steve points out there is a cash machine by the traffic lights on the main road as you turn into Polichrono.
